THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, NOV. 24, 1921, 3 Canada From Coast to Coast St. John, N.B.--The Somerset Edge Tool Works have been established here to manufacture axes, hatchets, edges, slices, etc. An interesting feature of this concern is that it is their intention to make ice-cutting tools which have had to be imported from the United States heretofore. It is also intended to make jewelers' er graving tools. Quebec, Que.--Newsprint produ< tion in Canada has increased froi 150,000 tons in 1909 to over 850,000 in 1920, according to a bulletin issued by the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association. To-day the Canadian newsprint mills are equipped to produce about 1,000,000 tons a year. About 80 per cent, of the output of these mills is marketed in the United States. During the 12 months ending August 31, American newspaper publishers had purchased and used no less than 637, 266 tons of Canadian newsprint. Montreal, Que.--The extremely heavy shipments of grain from the West, together with another large volume from United States points, has enabled this port to set a new record for handling, it being expected that the quantity of grain shipped out by the close of navigation will be 132,-000,000 bushels. Ottawa, Ont.--Canada's apple yield for 1921 is 3,337,200 barrels, according to an estimate of the Dominion Fruit Commissioner's Branch. Nova Scotia led all other provinces with a yield of 1,300,000 barrels, followed by British Columbia with 1,009,000; Ontario, 960,000; Quebec, 35 200; and New Brunswick, 33,000. Winnipeg, Man.--Bliss Carman, the Canadian poet, opened his western tour here and will proceed through the West, giving reading at Brandon, Re-gina, Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Vancouver, and Victoria. The tour is being arranged by the Federation of University Women. The Pas, Man.--Eleven crack dog teams are practically assured for the Dog Derby to be held here this coming winter. This is very encouraging to the promoters in view of the fact that the race does not take place until February 28th, 1922, and many more contestants are yet to be heard from. Goyne, Dupas, Billy Winterton, Morgan, Bancroft, Larry McKay, Sam Pranteau and Jack Hayes, drivers in the last race, have again entered. Regina, Sask.--Five carloads of Saskatchewan horses, cattle, sheep and swine are now being selected by the provincial livestock commissioner for exhibition at the International Livestock Show at Chicago in cember. To each Saskatchewan hibitor who wins a prize at this show the provincial government has offered to supplement his winnings as follows: $500 to the winner of a grand championship, 1300 to the winner reserve championship, $200 to the winner of a senior or junior championship, and $100 to the winner ol a senior or junior reserve champion ship. Edmonton, Alta.--Steps are being taken towards the_ establishment of a coal briquetting industry in the Edmonton district and possibly in other parts of Alberta as well. Estimates are being secured on the cost of the necessary machinery for initial plant. It is expected that tar from the Athabasca bituminous sands will be used as a binder in the new briquettes, the manufacture of which will begin, if present plans work out, next sum Lethbridge, Alta.--Approximately seven million bushels of wheat more than four hundred thousand bushels of other grains have been sent to the East from points in Southern Alberta since the beginning of September. At the present time an average of about 50 cars of grain are being moved from this part of the province daily. Vancouver, B.C.--Ten thousand tons of bulk grain have been booked for the United Kingdom and the continent during the last few days, and if the rate continues as low as it is at present, in the neighborhood of thirty shillings, grain men predict a great movement through this port. Vancouver, B.C.--Forty thousand tons of railway material are to be sold by the British War Munitions Board to Russia. Practically all of this equipment is, at the present time, in Port Coquitlam, and a small army of men have been engaged for the several months in repairing minor fects resulting in long exposure to rainy weather, as well as painting and greasing preparatory to moving the immense bulk. Included in this lot are 4,000 box cars, of a broad-gauge type, not suitable for the railways of this continent. The material will be shipped as soon as satisfactory financial arrangements can be made. EIGHTEEN KILLED IN BELFAST RIOTING Bombs and Bullets Used by-Mobs--Eighty Wounded. A despatch from Belfast says:-- wSi* d^-ot" ric^irlg^Tiave' resulted in 18 deaths and more than 80 being seriously wounded. Many of the latter are not expected to recover, and the number of persons slightly injured is reported to be several hun- Scarcely had dawn appeared than the firing was opened by gunmen in concealed positions in the York street area The police and military were on duty in the disturbed areas, and with the aid of armored cars restricted the activities of the snipers. A renewed outbreak of sniping near the docks caused the first casualty of the day. Patrick Bsunton, a laborer, who was standing with some other men, was shot dead by a sniper. As a result the laborers employed at the Low street dock leased work. A young man named Michael Spalling was shot dead, and other civilians were wounded. During the afternoon the fusillades increased in intensity and armored car patrols were ineffective to silence the gunmen. Trolley cars passing along York street were the favorite targets and the service had to be suspended. Soldiers turned their machine guns on gangs of men, who scattered. In consequence of the continued disturbances the military have extended the curfew hours in the disturbed areas, where all the inhabitants must now be indoors at 9 o'clock. Bill to Endow Motherhood Passes in New South Wales A despatch from London says:-- The bill to endow motherhood has passed its third reading in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, according to a cable from Reuter's correspondent at Sydney. BOMBAY POPULACE CHEER PRINCE Departure for Baroda Occasion of Another Great Demonstration. A despatch from London says:-- The entire visit of the Prince of Wales to the Bombay Presidency has been a great personal triumph, says a message-received at the India Office from the Governor of Bombay. The departure of the Prince for Baroda as made the occasion of another great demonstration. Masses of people thronged the platform in an effort to get near the Prince's car made it difficult to get the train mov- The populace, the Governor reports, appears to be stimulated by the unfortunate riots of last week to prove their loyalty. The Prince on Monday, the fifth day of his visit in Bombay, participated in a polo match, according to a Bombay despatch to The London Times. He was to have inspected 20,000 Boy and Girl Scouts, but parents in the remote parts of the city were afraid to allow their children to pass through the recently disturbed areas, and the' inspection was reluctantly abandoned. Fears that the days would bring further disorders proved unfounded. Hindus and Parsees paraded the streets, waving white flags, amid the cheers of the warring sects, and up to the time darkness came, when The Times despatch was filed, there! was no trouble. The Prince spent a quiet Sunday,! taking lunch informally at the Orient j Yacht Club and attending services in the Cathedral. JAPAN SECURES BY FAR THE BEST DEAL IN THE NAVAL SETTLEMENT British and United States Fleets Would be Equalized at the End of Ten Years, According to Analysis of Statisticians. Mr. Lloyd George (to nurse Austen Chamberlain): "I should love t take a trip to Washington, but dare I leave you in charge while these t are teething?" FAR EAST PROBLEM CONFRONTS THE DELEGATES TO ARMAMENT PARLEY A despatch from Washington says:--The Far Eastern negotiations, complicated by a disagreemnt ovei the meaning of the four general principles already adopted, again became the live issue of the armament conference, when it resumed work on Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday. How acute the divergence of views over application of the four principles might become was problematical on Thursday night, but the Chinese, in particular, seemed to regard it as a fundamental obstacle to a complete agreement regarding the status of China. Some officials of the Chinese delegation even went so far as to say that there would be nothing left for them but withdrawal from the conference should an interpretation advanced in British quarters receive the full approval of the powers. The opinion held with apparent unanimity by the delegates of all the nations concerned, however, was that the issue would be su handled a preclude such an impasst, for the present, at least. It was pointed out that the views at which the Chinese took offense were delineated by British spokesman outside the c( ference itself and so far have not had the formal endorsement even of the British delegation. These views were, briny, that the open door policy defined by the four principles included Chinese acceptance of the consortium and the pooling of the operation of railroad concessions, a combination which the Chinese declare would mean virtual "internationalization of China." The specific subject selected for discussion at Friday's session was China's i fequest for abolition of the system of Vextra-territoriality" under which the foreign powers have set up their own courts within China to handle cases in which their respective nationals are involved. A despatch from Washington says:--The demon statistician has been at work on the disarmament proposals of Secretary of State Hughes, and his efforts have resulted in elaborate tables, showing how Great Britain, the United States and Japan will fare from the naval standpoint should the Hughes plan be adopted. The finding of the statistician is that the Hughes proposal is "generous" on the part of the United States, both as regards the proposed "5-5-3" ratio and the retained tonnage phases of the United States plan. It is further found that Japan is securing by far the best deal throughout. To treat the tonnage figures of the Hughes plan from a new angle, the "5-5-3" ratio represents a distribution of capital ship tonnage on the bas of Japan keeping a fleet representing 23 per cent, of the total of the three powers, the ether two dividing the mainder. During the ten-year period, however, Great Britain would have in the neighborhood of 43 per cent.; the United States would have something more than 35 per cent., and Japan over 21 per cent, of the total. The change at the end of the ten-year holiday represents equalization of th< United States and British fleets, to 1 which Great Britain has already Under the "5-5-3" ratio, and the proposed limitation of auxiliary tonnage, as well as capital craft, through application of the replacement rule of maximum, the British and United 'States fleets would reach a total of 1,120,000 tons in all combat craft, and Japan 672,000. This makes possible a comparison of the relation of the fleets to various factors representative of the place of each power among the nations. Against the simple, question of geographical area of each, for instance, the limited fleets would mean for Japan more than 2,500 tons of naval strength per thousand square miles. The same figure for the United States would be approximately 300 tons, and for the British Empire be-tween eighty and ninety tons. Former Emperor Charles 'of Austria-Hungary and his wife, Zita, have arrived at Madeira on the British 'battle-cruiser Cardiff to begin their life of exile recently decreed by the Allies. Educational Facilities for Farmers. Speaking at the Convention of Women's Institutes last week the Director of University Extension, University of Toronto, outlined the educational facilities which the provincial university offers to the people of the rural districts of Ontario. After explaining t\at the work of the university does not overlap that of other educational institutions because the former specializes in cultural education, he told of what the Department of University Extension -does for journalists, for housewives, for those interested in town planning, and for the general public. Then the major part of his address was devoted to giving definite details of three forms of service that are arranged especially for farmers. First was the extension lecture scheme whereby a community may (and many communities do) obtain a single lecture or a series of lectures on topics of general interest. The second course dealt with was the unique short course for farmers--unique because the instruction was in cultural and not technical subjects--which was held at the university last February. The third was the plan for rural tutorial classes which has become popular in many parts of the province. On the conclusion of his address the speaker, who had invited the women present to write him if they wished further particulars, was surrounded by a bevy of ladies each of whom asked the same question, Even more striking in disproportion favorable to Japan is the comparison on the basis of accepted estimates of national wealth. Japan would have something like 26 000 or 27,000 fleet tons per billion dollars in national wealth, while the United States figures would be little more than 3,000 tons per billion, and the British 6,000 tons per biiyon. Disproportion again holds true as to foreign commerce of each power. Japan would have almost 200 tons of naval tonnage per million dollars in her import and export business over a period of years. The United States would have little more than eighty tons per million, and the British between forty and fifty tons. Again, in relationship of naval tc commercial tonnage of each power, and navies are built to some extent to support the commercial strength afloat of their flags, Japan would have nearly 170 tons of fighting ships per thousand tons of Japanese commercial craft, the United States would have little more than sixty tons under such tabulation, and Great Britain, less than fifty tons. Marshal Foch Sends Greetings on U.S. Thanksgiving A despatch from Harrisburg, Pa., says:--Marshal Foch, in a Thanksgiving Day message to Hanford Macnider, Commander of the American Legion, sent on his arrival in Harrisburg on Thursday, joined with the people of the United States in "prayers of gratitude for the blessings enjoyed by the world." The Marshal also sent a message of greeting to the wounded soldiers of the United States through the Public Health Service. During the absence of the Prince of Wales in India. Princess Mary is taking charge of his poultry farm al Sandringham. Weekly Market Report "What c.n you do for ( ity?"
